Ran into an acquaintance.
It’s Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.
eting Lin Xueming isn’t really a big deal, especially since his daughter is here too, we could even have a al together.
But...
Upon recognizing Lin Xueming, Wu Mu imdiately turned his gaze to the woman holding his arm.
This woman... doesn’t seem to look like Lin Qingyue’s mother, the veteran film star Du Lan.
Oh no!
Caught my future father-in-law cheating at the restaurant!
At first, Lin Xueming didn’t recognize Wu Mu, as he was wearing a hat and mask, but he quickly recognized Wu Mu’s figure and eyes. Lin Xueming, always serious and unsmiling, was clearly flustered and instinctively tried to let go of the woman beside him.
But the woman seed a bit clueless, looking at Wu Mu in confusion.
After a few seconds, she exclaid in surprise, "Wu Mu?"
Huh?
Wu Mu looked at her and started recognizing her too.
She seed to be a celebrity nad Tang Ya?
Thinking more deeply, she seed to be the second female lead in the movie Lin Xueming’s filming recently?
Wu Mu was truly feeling awkward now.
Yet Lin Xueming was more composed, quickly regaining his usual calm deanor, "Out for a al?"
Wu Mu nodded, "Mm."
After a pause, he added, "Qingyue is here too."
Lin Xueming showed no special expression, "Oh, is she done with her film?"
"Almost, just finishing up the end."
"Will it be ready in ti for Cannes’ announcent?"
"It should be ready in ti."
"Hmm."
Lin Xueming nodded, the atmosphere was silent for half a second, "Then you guys go eat first, we’ll head back after finishing."
He lifted his foot to leave but paused mid-step, as if rembering sothing, "Don’t tell Qingyue I ca back."
Such subtle language art...
You don’t want Lin Qingyue to know you ca back, but clearly, you don’t want Lin Qingyue to know you brought a woman to eat...
Wu Mu sighed a little, how could he be so unlucky to run into sothing like this.
If it were soone else, and the relationship wasn’t as close, he wouldn’t even bother to ddle.
But this is his girlfriend’s father... Lin Qingyue would be mad knowing he found out about this kind of thing and didn’t tell her.
Wu Mu said nothing, just shook his head.
Lin Xueming, who had maintained an unsmiling face until now, clearly had a slightly darkened expression, a flash of anger in his eyes.
He lifted his hand, gesturing towards Wu Mu twice, said nothing, and walked straight ahead.
The celebrity Tang Ya beside, just realized the awkwardness, and hurried to follow.
Now, it truly seems I’ve offended the girlfriend’s father terribly.
Wu Mu was quite speechless too.
If it was just dislike before, now it’s bound to turn to dislike.
What’s this ss...
Wu Mu watched Lin Xueming’s departing back, shaking his head helplessly.
Continuing forward, he soon reached the private room Lin Qingyue booked.
She was still inside ordering food. Seeing Wu Mu co back, she waved with a smile, "I ordered the crispy pigeon for you, anything else you want?"
Wu Mu glanced at the nu,
Sat down beside her, and didn’t answer, instead pondered a mont, "Qingyue, on my way here, I ran into soone."
"Who?" Lin Qingyue raised her eyebrows a little, sensing sothing.
"Father."
"My dad?"
"Mm."
Wu Mu contemplated, "He was with soone, seemingly from the industry"

But he hadn’t reached the hotel yet when he unexpectedly spotted an acquaintance on the roadside.
Huh, why is she here?
Wu Mu curiously looked at the figure standing at the door of a nearby restaurant.
It was Su ng, who he knew from the first session at the Star Agency.
She was standing next to a red Ferrari, looking angry, talking to soone inside the Ferrari.
Wu Mu couldn’t see who was in the Ferrari, but that person seed quite temperantal too, because after a brief exchange, they suddenly hit the gas, leaving Su ng standing there.
Leaving Su ng standing there, furrowing her brow as she stared in that direction.
Wu Mu drove over with a smile, rolled down the window, and said with amusent, "Little Su, long ti no see."
Su ng turned to look at him, seemingly stunned.
This was only the second ti the two actually t in real life.
Yet Su ng seed to keep up with his activities, as Wu Mu often received feedback from Su ng on his new songs on WeChat.
They didn’t really chat much, just simple exclamations of how good the songs were.
Hmm, whether as a hater or a fan, at least she contributes to the views.
Wu Mu smiled and asked, "Your driver ran off? Want to give you a lift?"
Su ng hesitated slightly, "I’ll let my family know."
"Aunt Qing, you don’t need to co. Yes, my friend will give a ride back, okay, I know."
After making the call, Su ng opened Wu Mu’s passenger door and got in.
After confirming the address, Wu Mu curiously asked, "Aren’t you from Shen City, what brings you here?"
Su ng shook her head, "I am from Shen City, but my family also has a house here in Beijing."
She paused, rare smile appearing on her face, "We just had a eting, and my friend wanted to cover their ears for your first song."
Wu Mu laughed, "Well that’s not on , my singing was fine."
Chatting and laughing with Su ng, Wu Mu soon took her ho, to a large courtyard in the Upper City District, just not far from the Forbidden City.
Hmm, confird, another one of the Heavenly Dragon People.
Wu Mu was quite surprised, although through everyday actions and words, one could tell Su ng’s family was well-off.
But didn’t expect them to be this wealthy.
This courtyard alone, probably worth at least
The host wasn’t to be seen yet, Yang Rongfa asked, "Several major directors and company bosses from the industry ca today, do you want to introduce you?"
This would be an opportunity for anyone in the industry.
Getting to know more people is always a good thing.
But... recalling the previous party experience, Yang Rongfa wisely chose to ask first.
Wu Mu shook his head, "No..."
But halfway shaking, his eyes passed over soone in a small lounge area beside the main hall, where it was sectioned off, not clear to see fully, and slightly paused.
"Director Lin is here too?" Wu Mu asked Yang Rongfa.
He ant Director Lin, not Lin Qingyue, but her father Lin Xueming.
Lin Qingyue would be back tonight, but needed to handle matters with her crew and wouldn’t be at this event.
Also, he had ntioned to Lin Qingyue earlier that he’d attend this party, if Lin Qingyue were coming too, she would have told him.
"Yes, Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang are here too." Yang Rongfa nodded.
It turned in Wu Mu’s mind; these two are also of the sa tier as Lin Xueming, top figures within the circle.
However, he wasn’t planning to cozy up to these directors for resources, so dealing with them wasn’t a concern.
But with Lin Xueming here, not greeting him would be inappropriate.
"I’ll go say hello to Director Lin." He took steps toward the small lounge area.
"Director Lin and the others are there, are you going to greet them?" Yang Rongfa whispered close by.
He spoke, motioning with his hand towards the small lounge area beside the main reception hall.
The small lounge seed to be a regular private guest area, visually sectioned off, making it unclear, just appearing to be smaller compared to the main one.
So closer positioned sofas were there, where many were seated and chatting.
Director Lin?
Wu Mu’s mind turned and he instantly knew it was Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.
Lin Qingyue was set to return tonight, but still had to handle her crew’s matters and wouldn’t be present here.
Also, he ntioned to Lin Qingyue earlier that he would attend this event. If she were coming too, she’d have inford him.
"I’ll go say hello." He nodded in agreent.
Since Lin Xueming was here, it was only fitting to greet him.
"Heads of Light Shadow dia and Yahua Film and Television, alongside Director Tang and Director Xie, are also here." Yang Rongfa whispered again.
Light Shadow dia, Yahua Film and Television?
Even without delving into the circle, Wu Mu knew of these two companies; if Yang Rongfa’s was a middle-level enterprise, these two were indeed top-tier.
